Leathrisque (inspired by Tuscan Leather)

This is pure, concentrated perfume oil and still needs to be diluted.
This can be done with perfumer’s alcohol, or alcohol-free with a carrier oil such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil .

 

Example:
To make 50 ml of eau de toilette, use 2.5 to 5 ml of the fragrance concentrate and add 45 to 47.5 ml of perfumer’s alcohol or jojoba oil.

Perfume type	Concentrate (%)	30 ml bottle	50 ml bottle	100 ml bottle
Perfume / Extract	20–35%	6–10.5 ml	10–17.5 ml	20–35 ml
Eau de Parfum (EdP)	10–20%	3–6 ml	5–10 ml	10–20 ml
Eau de Toilette (EdT)	5–10%	1.5–3 ml	2.5–5 ml	5–10 ml
Eau de Cologne	2–5%	0.6–1.5 ml	1–2.5 ml	2–5 ml
Aftershave / Eau Fraîche	1–3%	0.3–0.9 ml	0.5–1.5 ml	1–3 ml

💡 Explanation : The higher the percentage of fragrance concentrate, the more intense and longer the scent lasts.
Perfume contains the most concentration and lasts the longest on the skin.
Aftershave and Eau Fraîche are the lightest and evaporate faster.

Leathrisque (inspired by Tuscan Leather) has a powerful, smoky and leathery profile with accents of raspberry, saffron, suede, amber and wood.
As a hobby perfumer you can expand this fragrance to make it even deeper, more mysterious or more accessible.
